A Twitter user has raised a sad alarm over the death of his 12-year-old cousin, Sylvester Oromoni, who was beaten by his fellow students in a Lagos boarding school for refusing to join their cult. According to his twitter post, @Perrisonoromoni alleged that his cousin died due to injuries sustained from the beating

 

In his post, he also mentioned that the young cousin brother mentioned 5 names before dying, and siting that the said school, Dowen College, Lagos, costs over a million naira from school feeds, accommodation and feeding plus other miscellaneous. In his words;

 
 

They called my uncle that he wasn’t well so he went there took him and admitted him to an hospital in Warri. That’s where he passed but confessed that they tried blending him into cult.

 
 

The Twitter user also alleged that while the school authorities told his uncle that the boy got injured while playing football, the hospital he was taken to confirmed that he was bullied and sustained internal injuries after he was allegedly beaten up.

 
 
 
 

The school however tried to cover up the incident by saying the boy had sustained injuries while playing football, but when the boy was taken to the hospital, the medical examiner confirmed that the injuries visible on his body are consistent with bullies.
